I'm going to try that tomorrow st_shaw - I already put away the cable and my brain is toast right now. I'm pissed about not being able to game tonight and vent my rage *LOL*
It's killing me that I had zero issues before, and now nothing but........
Right now I have the Orbi (yellow port) wired into the LAN1 port, so tomorrow I will disable the wireless setting on the Zhone and see if that corrects things.
Sounds good. After disabling wireless on the Zhone make sure you log into the Orbi interface and switch from Router mode to Access Point mode. It's under Advanced, Advanced Setup, Router/AP Mode.
DMZ should help this time...
I'm actually having a hard time trying to even get into the ORBI. I did a re-set, thinking that would help, but I can't even login to the ORBI management system to even check the settings. It keeps asking for name and password, but won't accept them. Either the generic admin / password combo or the one I set up and is saved to auto login.
Are you using a wired PC connected to the Router? I recommend this.
What browser are you using? I prefer IE11 or FF.
Besure any browser or PC security is temporarily disabled.
Clear all browser caches, quit the browser then re-open and navigate to 192.168.1.1
Yes, I have my laptop hardwired to the ORBI.
Have cleared out the cache (Using Chrome, but can try FF)
It's the same one I used the other day to access the address (192.168.1.1) with success.
Kinda stumped by it. Gonna try and re-do everything from square one again.
Okay, have gone through the setup and on the phone app it is asking me for the WiFi Network Name (SSID) and Newtork Key (Password), but everytime I try and enter it, it keeps saying "oops something went wrong"
